‘Israel’s’ airlines industry is in the midst of collapsing, Haaretz said in a recent report citing sources within the industry, as ‘Israel’ grapples with a fragile ceasefire with Iran and drones launched daily by Hezbollah.
"This time, Israel is sitting on the fence," an aviation industry official said to Haaretz. "
“One day, Trump is considering attacking, the next day he's returning to the negotiating table. No airline can return under this uncertainty. This is the longest, worst waiting period Israel has ever had."
Many ‘Israelis’ are hesitant to book flights and vacations for the summer months, as most airlines halted their flights due to airspace disruptions.
In April 2025, 1.83 million used Ben Gurion Airport, compared to 471,000 in exactly a year later.
According to data released by the ‘Israel’ Airports Authority, only 21 airlines are currently operating at Ben Gurion Airport, compared to 60 in December 2025.
The authority lost an estimated $200 million to $240 million in income so far this year.
